The FDA has hardened its ban on the importation of that hazardous, drug-laced substance . . . Vegemite.

No, really. This is what our tax dollars are protecting us from. Read the whole story at the (Perth) Sunday Times. Interestingly, the ingredient which got Vegemite banned is strongly recommended - by a different agency of our government - as a dietary supplement for pregnant women. Here's the CDC page on folic acid.

Well, that just gives me another reason to want to go back to Australia someday. I like Vegemite.-- Steve Jackson
